Lovely!

Especially this jacket!

I've never heard of topshop before. What's the quality like?

BeauteJilly · BCBG

SERIOUS!? I ve been drooling over their stuff for past couple of years. Finally, I may have them in my own hands n closet. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Their quality I d say maybe similar to H&M, or a quite better as they re on their competitive side.

Where? When? I need details!

Kitty · Hermes

I want this!!!

Alikat · Kate Spade

Sweet! Too bad the exchange rate is so brutal, otherwise I'd go nuts.

I checked the website it is a 10 GBP flat shipping fee to the US.

Liz · Kenneth Cole

Collette Topshop is an English based store that I would liken to a better quality H&M. Kate Moss, Sieena Miller, and Keira Knightly have all been known to wear their clothes. Plus, Kate is going to be designing a line for them in the near future! Yay!

Z4 I assume you can start shopping now because their site says they ship to the US already.

How does the sizing run over there. I saw that a uk 10 is the equivalent to a us 6 but is that a true us 6 a small us 6 or a large us 6??

european sizes run on the small size - I'd size up if in doubt. do they have measurements online for their sizes? it's probably mm - but I bet there's a mm converter online.

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

The measurements is what was kinda getting me. I think they are cm but not 100% sure. I know french connection is europenean and so is zara and both I find are all over the board with sizing so I was wondering if topshop was just as bad or more standardized.

Alikat · Kate Spade

British sizes are actually different than European sizes - they are +4. So a UK 10 is the equivalent of a US 6. I've found this to be pretty consistent.

I believe the jeans are in the same sizes as here 29X30 or whatnot

lol, I got so excited, I thought you said they were opening a store in the US.

dangergirl · Kate Spade

hey, i'm from england and shop at topshop quite a lot... i would definitely say that the quality of topshop is better than h&m and they seem to bring out new things a lot quicker too. enjoy! i wish more of your US shops would ship to england...

kmd · Kate Spade

I am a fan! It's too bad they didn't start doing this last year, there was a coat I really wanted.

There's so much great stuff!

This is exciting. :D

I would say that Topshop stuff generally runs 4-6 sizes different from U. S. sizes - about 4 from H&M U. S. sizing (which runs small) and 6 from others. I normally wear 0-2 at stores like Gap and 4 at H&M, and I have a skirt from Topshop that is an 8.
